    Subject: CVNET: request for colorimeter info.

    Dear CVNETers,
     I am looking for a comercially available visual colorimeter.
    One one side, it should have 3 knobs for adjusting the amounts of
    three primaries, to make a visual match. The knobs should be calibrated;
    relative units are enough.
    One the other side, it should have a location to
    place a sample, to be illuminated by white light.

     I do NOT want any electronics, because this is for teaching,
    so the students should be able to see what they are doing.

    I do NOT want a Singerman apparatus, because although this shows
    mixtures of 3 primaries, it has no place for a sample or test stimulus,
    and it is entirely uncalibrated.

     I thought 'tintometer' would have the right euipment, but after 100 years
    they now only make electronic colorimeters.

      If anyone has any suggestions, I'll be deeply grateful. I don't
    look forward to having to make a bunch of lab set-ups by hand.
